Just for the record, here is what I have put on top of that series:

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: do not tweak node in alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info

alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info is allocated for each possible node and
this used to be a problem because not !node_online nodes didn't have
appropriate data structure allocated. This has changed by "mm: handle
uninitialized numa nodes gracefully" so we can drop the special casing
here.
